Something must have gone wrong. I know for fact that in Poland you can bank at post office at least since 90s. Its still common think for seniors to have no bank account because there is no need to. They typically get pension in form of a government check that they cash at "Poczta Polska" and then use cash to shop. Post office also pays all the bills, utilities etc, so long as you know corporation/receipient bank number.
